Homes Perfect for the Keen Sailor and Watersports Enthusiast

For sailors, watersports enthusiasts and wild swimmers, discover 15 exceptional Cornish homes where the harbour, creek, beach and open water become part of everyday life.

For the keen sailor, watersports enthusiast or wild swimmer, the perfect coastal home is about more than a sea view. It is about having the water as part of everyday life. For some, the ultimate prize is a true frontline home where the garden meets the water, with no road or public footpath in between. For others, it is being able to walk to the harbour, beach or sailing club in minutes.

Imagine waking up to see your yacht on its mooring, checking the wind and tide over breakfast and, before long, sailing into Carrick Roads, paddleboarding along a sheltered creek or swimming from the shore.

The Roseland Peninsula borders Carrick Roads, regarded as one of the finest sailing waters in the world and forming part of one of the world’s deepest natural harbours. From St Mawes Harbour and the Percuil River to St Just Creek, the Fal Estuary and Falmouth Bay, this is an exceptional place to enjoy life on the water.

Here are just some of our coastal and waterside homes currently available.
